Hello,
I have just installed diff-1.7 on an Alliant FX/4.  There was one problem
with the compilation that the following changes fix.  The problem was
that an identifier is named "vector," which happens to be defined in one
of the <machine/h> files.  I hope this report is of use.
Keep up the good work!
